HISCOCK AND MILLER.
The NewIy-Elected Senator Seeks to Heal the
Wounds of His Late Opponent

The Newly Elected Senator Seeks to Heal the
Wounds of His Late Opponent
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journas.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-No stronger contra
diction could be given to all the stories and Cos
sip of the past ten days that there feeling
of something like deadly hatred on the part Of
Senator Miller toward Senator-elect Hiscock
than the eentlemen's conduct lately. 1t goes
without saying that Mr.. Miller felt very sore
over his defeat, and he could not but be inf1u-
enced by the many reflections made on the
methods adopted by the Hiscock contingent at
Albany. but when Mr.. Hiscock came up to him
at Secretary Whitneys reception last week and,
heartily extending his hand, and uttered cordial
words of greeting, Mr.. Miller, after a moments
hesitation, all but forgot the unpleasant things
he had felt toward the man who is to occupy his
seat in the Senate.
On Tuesday last when Mr.. Hiscock came into
the Senate chamber and took the seat adjoining
Mr.. Millers desk, the galleries buzzed with gos-
sip, and political prophet Of much experience
and much cynicsn said to me: "Do you know
what tnat means2 Let me tell you something,

to Offset this unpleasantness, and proposes to
mollify Miller, who in turn would assuage the
tempers of his adherents. can almost guess
what he is saying to Miller. He is telling him
what to do in his six years release from public
life; he is telling him that Mr.. Evarts a po-
litical factor is nobody; that if unpleasant
thincs sunk Mr.. Miller may come back to
the late in 1891, aud that the accident OF an
adve.sh battle does not mean the loss of the war;
And Mr.. HscocK is man of figures, and when
he talks he doesn't fail to impress his listener
with the fact that figures do not lie He is say
ing that any breach that may now be supposed
to exist in New York State politics on the Re-
publican side will disappear the dripping dew

As my prophet spoke l could not but notice
the effect upon the king who is dead and the
king who has long to live. The rather logged
look of the man who was not elected gradually
changed into an expression of tolerance, then
into one of satisfaction if not of ease and gay

as he walked away looked like one who had

A New Pension Scheme.

Washington Special.
While everybody is talking about the Presi-
dents veto of the dependent pension bill. the
project of creating civil pension list is being
steadily urged, and Is gaining friends. The sur
vivng widows and children of those who lose
their lives in the life-saving service forms one
class OF pensioners and those who have wasted
their lives away in the government departments
forms another.
There are those who regard this step as the
corollary Of the new civi-service system. The
limitation of the power of removal to that of
cause will result in removing men and women
from the service only when they become no long
er able to earn living in private life This will
make the hardship of being thrown out more APP
parent So far the civil pension list is much re-
stricted; but opening once made by taking in
the life-saving service, the way to reach the de-
partmental service is short and direct Both
schemes are being urged upon Congress.

"ExECUTivE MANSION

"Hon. Daniel Manning. Secretary Of the Treasury:
My Dear Sir-Your formal letter of resigna-

unexpected, presents the reality Of severance
OF our oftcla. relations, and causes me the deep
est regres This is tempered only by the knowl-
edge that the frank and friendly personal rela-
ions which have unbrokenly existed between us
are to still continue. l refer to these because
such personal relations supply after all, what
ever of comfort and pleasure the world affords.
and because feel it to be almost superfuous to
speak of the aid and support you have given me,
and the assistance you have furnished to the ad-
muistration of the government during the
time you have directed the affairs of
the exacting and laborious Office which
you now seek to surrender Your
your devotion to public duty are fully

citation and gratitude of all your countrymen.
Since must al last relinquish my hope of your
continuance at my side counselor and CO.

upon which your request to be relieved is based,
it only remains for me to accept the resignation
you have rendered, and to express my profound
thanks for all you have done for me in sharing
manfully the labors and perplexities Of the past
two years. I feel that 1 may still ask of you
that the first day Of April next be fixed as the
date at which your resignation shall take effect,
and that you will SO regulate what remains to
you of official duty in the meantime as to secure
that measure of freedom from vexatious labor
which you have so justly earned.
with the earnest hope that in any new path
of life you may hereafter follow there may be
allowed to you more of comfort and of ease than
a conscient ious discharge Of duty here permits,
am very sincerely your friend,

The Dry Nurse Of Paris.

And now a word concerning the bonre
or dry nurse. who is SO often introduced
in French fiction and drama. For one
thing, she has not the vital responsibility
of nounou or wet nurse. She usually
dresses palmer and conducts herself with
a dignity less unctuous and suave. She
frolics with the children under the trees
in the public parks and instils into their
unfolding minds antiquities OF expression
which she learned in pastoral childhood
She is not on intimate terms with any
nounOu, perhaps because she was one her
self in the long ago Alas. those days
are over for her, and as she is now on the
down hili side of existence, she must take
the next best place i'll her line-that of
dry nurse. Her position is not nearly so
much Of a sinecure as she wishes it were,
but perhaps she is older and wiser: per
haps she repeats the old adage ''beggars
should he not choosers," and find a GER
tain comfort in it. And so she remains
in her situation as long as she is needed
